My partner’s name is also the name of a very famous (mostly to boomers) multi-grammy award winner. He works in finance and he’s gotten the Michael Bolton experience many, many, multiple times. He says its always super awkward, with really bad jokes or people thinking they’re being clever with quips like Are you related or Do you have a new album coming out? hurr durr. But he’s also never experienced anyone under 50 noticing his name, so its slowly happening less often

Nah, real goths are still around. We still listen to all the classics, and most of those genres are still alive and have newer albums. Some of the newish (or thriving) goth genres are: minimal synth, witch house, neofolk, dark jazz, dark trap, deathstep, electropunk/synth punk. We’re just lurking in the shadows, which is kinda an obvious place for us to be when you think about it 😉

I’m going to keep on deadnaming Elon’s company until he stops deadnaming his trans kid, so it’ll probably always be twitter to me

Why would you joke or be obscure when kids are involved? Explain what you meant

whose targeting kids? where is anyone talking about that?

You should read up on Turn-About Ranch, where he sent teens. There was direct violence, they’re facing multiple allegations of sexual, physical and mental abuse by former attendees.

Sinestro lol, if you’re talking about Dr. Oz he’s unfortunately jumped into politics. Take a wild guess which party

How dare the peasants want more than clean food and water, those greedy little fucks

non-tech, older millennial, and going back for nursing. I’ve been on the internet since the 90s and I love computers (and tech in general) but I’m not very tech-inclined

Just use “they” by default (or the persons name) until you know what they prefer

Nikola Tesla loved a pigeon so much he spent todays rough equivalent of $34,970 on her happiness.

“I loved that pigeon as a man loves a woman, and she loved me. As long as I had her, there was a purpose to my life.” Nikola Tesla (according to this biography)

Are you implying that everyone with a prison sentence is a rapist who should be worked to death? ooof. big ooof
